What's a way to nicely tell a coworker they talk too much?

This job is work from home.
People are required to come in once a week.

This particular person has had to come on an additional 2 days a week, because they can't stay on top of their work.

As I type, said person is on their personal phone having personal conversation.

She gets up out of her seat multiple times a day to come over to my cube and talk about whatever thought pops into her head.

She shops a lot and Is always showing me what she orders and showing me the wreaths and other stuff she makes for people.

She tells me all of her kids problems and she's becoming a problem for me.

Some people love coming to work just for the social aspects of it - COVID must have been really hard for them.
